Predictive maintenance and expert support now available to the bottling industry
BMG’s Power Transmission division is now offering the food and beverage sector access to Regal Rexnord’s Premium Services package, which has been developed to improve production line efficiency and minimise costly downtime in demanding manufacturing environments.
BMG’s Regal Rexnord’s Premium Services programme provides glass, bottling and beverage manufacturers with expert audits, predictive maintenance capabilities and comprehensive on-site training to optimise conveyor system performance. This proactive approach helps facilities maintain continuous operations, while reducing unexpected equipment failures that can halt production lines.
“Our Premium Services package represents a significant advancement in how we support our food and beverage customers,” explains Carlo Beukes, Business Unit Manager of BMG’s Power Transmission division. “By combining predictive maintenance with expert technical support and easy access to replacement parts, we’re helping manufacturers protect their production schedules and improve overall equipment effectiveness.
“Our customers in the food, beverage and glass manufacturing sectors face intense pressure to maintain production schedules, while managing costs. Through our Premium Services offering, we’re able to deliver predictive maintenance strategies, expert technical audits and training that transform how our customers approach equipment management.

Conveying solutions for demanding applications
BMG’s comprehensive Regal Rexnord portfolio for the beverage industry includes integrated hot and cold end conveying solutions specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of glass and container manufacturing. The company provides a full range of product conveying systems, complemented by an expanding portfolio of PowerTrain solutions.
Specialised solutions for abrasive environments
For glass container manufacturing applications where abrasion resistance is critical, BMG recommends Rexnord BWX material – a specially formulated solution engineered specifically for chains exposed to glass shards, sand, dirt and other harsh particles. BWX material can extend chain wear life up to five times, compared to standard acetal materials, delivering superior Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in high-wear environments.
BWX is available from BMG in multiple chain types, including MatTop and TableTop configurations, as well as side-flexing chains for curved conveyor sections.
Regal Rexnord power transmission components – enhanced by the Premium Services package – are available through BMG’s Power Transmission division for food, beverage and glass manufacturing customers throughout Africa.
